In addition to the release date announcement, Konami also released a brand new video for the game featuring Trevor Belmont's story.

Here's what Konami had to say about the new trailer:

"Dracula's return is explained during an emotional farewell between Trevor and his son, Simon. Trevor reveals his quest for vengeance of his mother's murder, at the hands of his father (Gabriel Belmont/Dracul), and gives Simon a pendant that contains a piece of the Mirror of Fate."

Also, don't forget that the VGAs are just around the corner. During the event, we will get a first look at Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2's gameplay in action. You'll find a teaser trailer for that below.
